FILM CARR-IER.

Original application filed February 1D, 1919, Serial No. 275,988,

To @ZZ Vw/wm t may concern.'

Be it known that I, SINGLAIR ToUsnr, a citizen of the United States, andresident of New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Film Carriers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This specification is a division of that belonging to application forLetters Patent of the United States filed by me February 10th, 1919,Serial No. 275,988, patented Sept. 30, 1924, No. 1,510,424, in which isdisclosed an X-ray iilm packet for use in the mouth of the patient intaking X-ray pictures of diseased parts.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a View of one face of the iilm packet.

Fig. 2 is a view of the opposite face.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 16-16 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a view of the separate insert piece.

The main body of the packet is made preferably of softannealed metal,transparent to the X-rays, and has its edge turned at a over upon oneface on all four sides. The front wall a is plain throughout andtransparent to the X-rfys so that the held of exposure is as large asthe area of this front wall. Cooperating with this front member I employback member l) consisting of a plain sheet of material having a Hap orfinger piece Z turned over upon itself lying upon the rear face of thisback member. As shown in Fig. 3 this back member is held by theoverturned edge a of the front member which also grasps the Divided andthis application led May 20, 1924.

Patent No. 1,510,424, dated September Serial No. 714,684.

back member along that portion where its flap or finger piece b islocated, but with a considerable portion of this flap or finger pieceextending from under the said overturned edge a so that it is readilyaceeS- sible to the user. In Fig. 3 c indicates the black paper and cithe hlm or films with or without X-ray proof backing. In opening thiscarrier the operator or the user pulls the finger piece or flap b andthis will turn the edge a which normally overlies the flap, and thusaccess to the film may be had.

I claim:-

An X-ray film carrier composed of a main part having narrow edgeportions turned upon itself to hold the film and an 55 other partconsisting of a separate sheet of suitable substance overlying the iilmon that side of the first part upon which its turned edge portions arelocated, the said overl 7ino' art havin@ a finger Jiece oro'ect- 60 b Cb ing relative to said narrow edge, substantially as described.
